the week after next or the week after that

ok so horsemouth's current plan is to be up early in the morning and out the door to malvern to see alula down. 

if he fails he will have to write more. 

he will walk to pontrilas (1 hr 6 mins) to get the bus into hereford and then the train to great malvern (and he will repeat this in reverse on the way back because there are no buses back from pontrilas to abbeydore on a saturday afternoon)

horsemouth is a bit short on funds until he gets back to the wen

his return to the wen is either happening the week after next (monday-ish to wednesday-ish). perhaps horsemouth can scrape it out to thursday-ish. there's a slight chance he'll be able to get a lift back (which would be handy) or start it slightly earlier. 

or he'll be back the week after that. 

in any event he has to be back in the wen for the night of wednesday the 30th april (may eve for those who know). 

the 16th 1857 for thoreau, no kilvert until the 14th. no kafka til the 19th. 

he's going to go and check his bank account and see if he's been paid all the gas and electric money he is owed. no he hasn't (email despatched). (ok now it's paid). 

ah-ha he's just spotted the black cat heading down the meadow. 

ok he thinks he's set the alarm on the phone (but he can't tell).  he's listening to webb dave's ambient dub show (and very nice and clanky it is too). 

ok he's up and has his coffee - wish him luck!
